SOMM TV wine & food

One of the biggest events in wine has just concluded in Napa Valley: the Premiere Napa Valley auction. Each year, top winemakers craft one-of-a-kind wine lots to be auctioned, creating an energy that has to be seen to be believed. 

Today, we speak with winemaker John Skupny, renowned winemaker Cathy Corison, and Stacey Dolan Capitani of Napa Valley Vintners to break down Napa’s past, its future, the competition between winemakers, and how an entire region comes together to position itself on the world stage.  You can also watch extended interviews and see the auction on SOMM TV, our video streaming service.
